I have been storing and moving my Tripods in a "Tumbler Packing Box."
I went to U-Haul and got a box with inserts designed to hold tall beverage glasses. It has not worked out well. The Tripods are too loose and break off their bases. Small gubbins also break off. The corrugated cardboard does not seem up to the challenge. Also, being 12 inches deep the compartments are too deep to easily retrieve the tripods.
I have acquired a 10" length of 4 inch diameter black irrigation tube to make a series of cylinders that will be about 6 inches "tall" and use foam wedges to hold the tripod in the tube. I will glue a bottom on the cylinders to prevent the bases from sliding under the walls of the compartment like they do in the "glass holder."
Before I start cutting, I need to know what advice folks have to offer. How tall should I make the cylinders? (Maybe better: How tall is a completed dominator?)
Has anyone tried to use foam wedges or another means to keep the tripod from rattling about in the container?
